Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) was evaluated as a postoperative analgesic. Patients undergoing lumbar spine operations, hip surgery, and gynecological laparotomies were studied. Sterile electrodes, placed near the incision immediately after operation, were connected to a continuously operating stimulator for 48 hours after operation. Results from 46 experimental patients demonstrated that TENS could reduce the demand for postoperative narcotics in a group of patients who had not used narcotic analgesics before operation. No significant benefit was observed for patients who had used narcotics prior to operation.
经皮电刺激神经疗法（TENS）被评估作为一种术后镇痛方法。对接受腰椎手术、髋关节手术和妇科剖腹手术的患者进行了研究。术后立即将无菌电极放置在切口附近，并在术后48小时连接到持续运行的刺激器上。46例试验患者的结果表明，TENS可以减少一组术前未使用过麻醉性镇痛药的患者术后对麻醉剂的需求。对于术前使用过麻醉剂的患者，未观察到明显益处。
